Plankton

A fictional cartoon character from the animated series SpongeBob SquarePants, Plankton owns a restaurant called the The Chum Bucket that makes the only competition of Mr. Krabs' business in Bikini. It is only in an episode like Plankton's Army that viewers learn the full name of the character: Sheldon J. Plankton. He is married to a computer, but not even his wife, Karen, knows his full name. When she finds out together with the rest of us, she is terribly amused by it, making Plankton feel really embarrassed. All throughout the series Plankton will try to get his hands on Mr. Krabs' secret recipe.

Sheldon Plankton is the smallest of the heroes in SpongeBob SquarePants, being able to fit into SpongeBob's hand. He is a zooplankter with one eye in the center of his head that is easily recognized by his very deep voice. In a funny episode, within an equally funny context, Plankton is very close to becoming Mr. Krabs' stepfather: now, picture that! In the movie version of the animation, Plankton finally succeeds in stealing the Krusty Krabs' secret recipe and he is the happiest zooplankter in the world. Unfortunately, SpongeBob ruins his dream of world domination.

There is a lot of contradiction between Plankton's humble tiny appearance and his aspirations and goals. Who would expect mighty things from the jelly green bean-shaped creature that is 99% evil and only 1% good. The flaws of his nature keep him away from getting hands on the Krabby Patty formula, because he makes stupid mistakes out of impatience and too much haste. Jealous and sneaky, Plankton ignores the fact that he and Mr. Krabs used to be friends, with Krabs as his only protector against those who bullied him. Plankton's anger is often directed towards SpongeBob whom he thinks to be too silly and babyish, and who on top of everything has the privilege of knowing the ingredients of the Krabby Patty recipe.

We could say that there is no antagonist or villain in the SpongeBob SquarePants series other than Plankton. He creates all sorts of major plans to achieve his goals and usually gets to work with characters that are much stronger in terms of physical appearance; a very large ego surely hides in that tiny body of his. From a certain perspective, Plankton wins viewers over by his miserable failures at getting something he puts so much emphasis on. Plankton really makes the animation series a lot spicier.
